Went to an estate sale this morning and it was finally my turn to score.

Saw a pipe stand with a cob in it and something in the humidor.
Snagged it up and smiled at the $10 price written on the tape.
Decatur Lazy Susan pipe stand, 12 slots, in as close to new condition as a body could hope for. The cob had never seen fire but had been chewed on something fierce.

Inside the jar were 6 old pipe filter boxes and and a totally serviceable pipe knife.

No other pipes were in the house, the family said their dad didn't smoke and were surprised when they found the thing in a closet. Go figure.
My first thought was to sell it on eBay, knew I could show a profit.

But then I loaded it with pipes...

Nope. This one is a keeper!

Definitely a keeper! Looks like it's in great condition. Absolute highway robbery at $10 too. Pipe stands just don't look right 'till they're filled with pipes :lol:

I know it's a steal, several completed listings for this same stand on the bay from 40 to 60 bucks.

I loaded the thing with pipes for listings pics, that's when I realized it was staying with me.
Fits perfectly on the shelf of an end table near where I smoke often.
lol, it spins! (-: (picture kid w/ new toy)
No macnutz, those are 3 of the 4 Dr. Grabow Vikings I have. And yes, I do like em'!

Thanks ODT. I've never seen one of those up here. The Grobows that is.
That is certainly a keeper. does the seal in the humidor still function?

hehe

Been populated with my older small bowl pipes for a bit over 15 hours or so and it makes me wonder why more of this style rack aren't made with the lasy susan base. Gotta love that the thing spins (-:
I've a similar stand, much larger, that is awkward to use in that it doesn't turn.

Will have to remedy that for sure.

BTW, I forgot to say, I am very, very jealous. I love that set. Good on you.
